Jonathan Milan pulls ahead of Tadej Pogačar in green jersey battle with latest Tour de France stage win

With his win on stage 17, Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) has pulled ahead of Tour de France leader Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) in the fight for the green jersey, but the GC leader is not totally out of what is usually considered a sprinter's classification.

The pair had been an unusual duo at the top of the points standings, with Pogačar's four stage wins and the spread-out sprint stages meaning that the GC rider was only 11 points behind Milan at the start of stage 17.
